One of the 'features' of Windows XP service pack 1 is a detailed check for a valid Windows License.

There are a number of license keys that have been identified as being distributed falsely.

If you have a bootleg version of XP, you will need to purchase an actual license, and update the product key and activation.

If you have a valid copy of XP, then you should contact Microsoft, and have them assist you in correcting the problem.

Remember, you can only install and activate XP on ONE PC per licensed copy.

Chas

Someone posted a KeyGenerator on the web for Windows XP. A lot of people downloaded this and enjoyed the wonders of XP for free.

To counter act this as The Chas has stated Microsoft in a update disabled the Key numbers that they feel were invalid.

If your ID was valid you can contact Microsoft and they will fix the problem. If it wasn't valid Good Luck.

Lee

You can use one of the XP Key Generators (please use
only if this is a legal copy!), but scan them thoroughly
with an antivirus program, some of them are virus-
ridden.

Also, Microsoft should be able to help you out.
